Featured Quote:"A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us." - Andrew Murray

Job was not delivered from the attacks of Satan by prayer, naming it and claiming it or anything suchlike. God allowed the attacks to bring Job into a better place where he did not think he had the right to God's presence and it continued until He decided to end it.

The greatest error of man is to think he can walk with sin in his life but if he is living a holy life and his past sins are tormenting him then of course peace can be found in Christ.

Re:

Yes my sister, Peace can be found in Christ. but what if someone is now in Christ and then he is going through torments. What will u suggest that the person do that he might be free or relieved of the anguish torments??? because obviously i know you will not want that person to be going through painful anguish especially when everyone around him is filled with Joy and bubbling. Anguish i tell you my sister is not a sweet thing.

Brother you did not say whether you were a believer when it happened. If you give a few more details, the brethren might be able to counsel you better.

There were things that l felt badly about when l came to see that it was due to not walking in the Spirit and my failures led me to find the key of how to do it, that is by faith that Christ had already made me whole (Holy).

It is not the individual sins that are the issue, the issue is are we walking in the Light?

Re:

I was believer but my mind was not renewed. i was listening and yielding to the wrong influences.My mind was conditioned to be contentious and to act in an evil manner. Ignorantly i did not know i will be recompensed for deeds done. My uncle n his wife died when i was in 300L. At 400L ,I found myself in a room where most of my roommates were unregenerate. They abused psychological and emotionally . At that time i was just an innocent young chap who did not know much about life. I believe this negative experience or misfortune is the consequence of the evil i did to my Late Uncle and his wife.

The Spirit of God gave me this understanding in the book of Romans 2 v 8 - 9

Paul, seeing no-one else has chimed in, I will attempt to reply to you but I find it hard to give you counsel for such a problem without knowing a lot more about you which is probably not a suitable thing to do online and I wonder whether you have sought help at your church?

If you want to have the ability to stand against the enemy of our souls, I suggest that you ask the Lord to cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness as in:

1 John 1:9,

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

This requires entire submission to the headship of Christ and might be where the Lord is leading you, or it could be a biochemical problem causing your mind to become obsessed with something or even that you have not been saved yet. There are numerous possibilities.

I have not known the Lord to punish us in the way you describe for one sin and we are told that we will have trouble in the world and will be persecuted.

If you feel afraid that the Lord will bring more suffering to you despite you repenting and being sorry for your sin, then that is coming from the devil and you need to decide whether to listen to him or to God in scripture.

Re:

Brother Paul,

If you have truly repented of your sin,then you can have assurance that yoursins have been forgiven and cleansedby the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit will convict us of our sin,and God will chasten us out of His greatlove for us, but we must remember thatit is not God that puts condemnation onus. Satan, who is the accuser of the brethren, is the one that accuses the saints. The devil comes to steal, kill, and to destroy. Jesus Christ has comethat we might have an abundant life.

You must not receive the tormentingaccusations of the devil. Forgive allthose that have wronged you, and forgiveyourself, for there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. (Romans8:1)

Sister Brenda, thanks for your advice. You can use my email add in my profile. You 'll get to know me better through that.Bro Mike, thanks a lot for your great advice . I deeply appreciate. May God richly bless you.
